The Outer Worlds Has No Colourblind Mode Because It Doesn’t Need One

The Outer Worlds, unlike many games, does not feature any colourblind options in its settings menu. This is not an oversight, however; the game has been designed to be colourblind friendly by default.

Discussing The Outer Worlds on Twitter, Obsidian studio design director, Josh Sawyer, explained that the entire game has been designed to not rely on colour for information. Rather than important colours, the UI uses icons or other indicators to convey vital information.

PSA: The Outer Worlds does not have a colorblind mode because it was designed to be playable without color information. I.e., color information is redundant with other indicators. Tim Cain (one of the directors) has a form of colorblindness that approaches monochromacy.

Stranger Things Season 4 Reportedly Adding Four New Characters

SPOILERS AHEAD for Stranger Things Season 3

Stranger Things 4 is reportedly looking to cast four new roles for the upcoming season.

Sources recently confirmed to TVLine that series creators the Duffer Brothers are searching for four male actors to fulfill the recurring roles – three of which are said to be teenagers and one of which is apparently an adult character.

The outlet describes the three adolescent characters as a “metalhead,” an “entitled jock,” and a doppelgänger of “stoner” Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, while the adult member of the group is said to possess characteristics that indicate he will factor into a storyline that takes place outside of Hawkins, Indiana.

It’s been 80 years since Batman’s first appearance in Detective Comics. Since then, the Dark Knight has starred in award-winning films, heralded video games, charming TV shows, and many beloved comics and graphic novels. A new book attempts to chronicle the entirety of Batman between the covers of a 400-page book. Regularly $75, Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight in Comics, Film, and Beyond is available for an even $50 at Amazon right now.

Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight in Comics, Film, and Beyond — $50 ($75)

The oversized, illustrated hardcover just released on October 29. Amazon has it discounted to $60.92, but if you clip the coupon on the product page, an additional $10.92 is slashed from the price.

The book chronicles “every incarnation of The Caped Crusader across comics, TV, animation, movies, video games and beyond” and features perspectives from some of the most influential people who have worked on Batman media. The list of contributors includes: Grant Morrison, Joel Schumacher, Frank Miller, Christopher Nolan, Julie Newmar, Tim Burton, Mark Hamill, Frank Miller, and more. Kevin Conroy, who lended his voice to Batman: The Animated Series, wrote the introduction, and former Batman actor Michael Keaton penned the foreword.

Co-authored by Andrew Farago and Gina McIntyre, the history of Batman is in good hands here. Farago has written similar books about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Peanuts, while McIntyre is known for her writing on Star Wars and Stranger Things.

As a book that covers all things Batman, readers will also find new material from DC and Warner Bros. such as film production photos and animated cels. Perhaps the coolest aspect of this book is the 40-page film treatment written by the late Batman co-creator Bob Kane.

DC Universe vs. HBO Max

Now that we know everything that’s coming to HBO Max, many DC Comics fans have one question: What does this mean for DC Universe? The service launched last September on Batman Day and has since debuted multiple original series while also hosting thousands of comics and a small curated library of classic DC movies and TV shows. But ever since HBO Max was announced, fans have been wondering what will happen to the niche DC streamer since both fall under the auspices of parent company WarnerMedia. And a promotional video teasing that the DC Universe original series Doom Patrol would be joining the massive new Warner Bros. service for its sophomore season only raised more questions.

Red Dead 2 on PC: Rockstar Answers Our Pressing Questions

Ahead of its November 5 release, Rockstar has been slowly shedding more light on its PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Coming just about a year after the sequel’s launch on PS4 and Xbox One, the PC version will bring with it new content on top of the familiar adventure fans may have played on consoles. But, even after some impressive 4K trailers, we have questions about the PC version of Red Dead 2 and, thankfully, Rockstar Games has answered our questions.

Speaking to IGN over email, Rockstar North Associate Technical Director Alex Hajadj answered some of IGN’s most pressing questions about the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. Read on for our questions — and their answers — and be sure to check out the latest trailer for Red Dead 2 on PC in 4K below.

Red Dead 2 on PC Looks Better Than Ever

When Rockstar revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be launching on PC this November, a year after its initial launch on consoles, we all wondered if the update between versions would be as massive an overhaul as it was when GTA 5 made the platform leap in 2015. The answer is, perhaps unsurprisingly, no – but that doesn’t mean that this is the exact same version that we experienced on PS4 and Xbox One last year.

I recently got a chance to spend an hour or so with Arthur and Dutch and the rest of the Van der Linde gang’s first PC outing. While I may not have been as flabbergasted as I was when we originally saw Red Dead 2 for the very first time, it was nonetheless impressive to see how the PC update has made some subtle – but very important – tweaks to the already-gorgeous world of New Hanover, Lemoyne and the rest of the West.

Red Dead 2 PC: 17 New Gorgeous Images

Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC features 4K resolution, HDR, and plenty of visual enhancements, and we have 17 new images that show off how Rockstar Games has improved upon its title that was originally released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2018.

In addition to the graphical and visual improvements, Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC also includes multi-monitor support, widescreen support, and faster framerates.

That’s not all, however, as there will be three new Bounty Hunter Missions, two new Gang Hideouts, two new Treasure Maps, four new weapons, seven new horses, and a new mission called “To The Ends of the Earth.”

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC Mods? Rockstar Is Mum on the Future

While Grand Theft Auto V has a thriving mod scene, Rockstar Games is not yet committing one way or another in regards to modding for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC. However, it does say its priority will always be in preserving the “integrity of the Red Dead Online experience.”

Speaking to IGN, Rockstar Games further explained that while it loves the “passion that players have for our games,” it wants to ensure that “the community can enjoy

freely in the way it was intended.”

“We love the passion that players have for our games and the creativity that comes with that,” Rockstar said. “Our priority, as always, is on working to preserve the integrity of the Red Dead Online experience and making sure that the community can enjoy that space freely in the way it was intended.”

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC Gets a Brand New Photo Mode

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC will be getting a brand new Photo Mode that will give players a wide range of tools to capture that perfect moment while adventuring through the story and beyond.
